For the detection of the viability and function of the autotyansplanted spleenic tissue

57 cases of spleenic autotransplantation were performed the 99mTc-denatured erythyrocyte imaging

among them 43 cases were imaged within 1 month after operation.Results showed that in 35 of the 43 cases

the transplanted spleens were well visualized

whereas 8 not.Another 14 cases imaged within 1 month and 2 years after operation the implanted spleens were clearly visualized and well functioned.In 24 out of above 43 cases reexamined within 2 years

21 originally visualized still showed the functional spleen

2 of the 3 nonvisualized cases demonstrated functional spleens

and 1 still nonvisualized.
